Two charges each of magnitude $q$ are fixed at a distance $2d$ apart. $A$ third charge (proton) placed at the midpoint is displaced slightly by a distance $x$ $(x << d)$ perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges. The proton will execute simple harmonic motion having an angular frequency: ($m =$ mass of the charged particle)

$A$ particle of mass $1 \, g$ and charge $-0.1 \, \mu C$ is projected from the ground with a velocity $10\sqrt{2} \, m/s$ at an angle of $45^o$ with the horizontal in a region having a uniform electric field $1 \, kV/cm$ in the horizontal direction. Acceleration due to gravity is $10 \, m/s^2$ in the vertical downward direction. Select the $INCORRECT$ statement.
